Salt, Yeast, and Light.
Only 24 percent of all Americans say they know an evangelical person, and 53 percent say they know a homosexual person well, while homosexuals only make up 3-5% of the population. So what gives?
Meanwhile, during the SB-200 hearings, an ACLU representative told a Judiciary Committee in Colorado that "religious people" better keep their religion out of the public forum.
With homosexuals now well out of the closet, it appears that Christians have climbed back into it. If Jesus wants us to be salt, yeast, and light, what exactly does that mean? Does it mean we're going to make people uncomfortable with a message concerning sin, law, repentance, atonement, and stuff like that? Does it mean we're going to confront a culture with a message that could turn the world upside down by a different epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics?
